hertz car rental agency charges $25 daily plus 10 cents per mile. budget charges $20 daily plus 25 cents per mile. Find the daily milage for which the budget charge for the day is tiwce that of the hertz charge for the day
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'C' represent total cost, let 'm' represent total miles driven
Hertz:
C = 0.10m + 25
Budget:
C = 0.25m + 20
we want to calculate 'm' when "0.25m + 20" equals "2*(0.10m + 25)":
0.25m+20 = 2(0.10m+25)
solving for 'm' we have m=600
when the daily mileage reaches 600 miles, the Budget cost per day will be double the Hertz cost per day
